Nintendo of America has confirmed this will be a launch game in North America, priced at $19.99 USD; there'll also be a free demo. Nintendo of America makes no mention, however, of any equivalent Joy-Con bundles like those coming to Europe.

UPDATE: The UK PR is in:

When it comes to solving puzzles, it's often said that two heads are better than one, and families and friends of all ages can put that to the test by giving Snipperclips - Cut it out, together! a go when it launches on Nintendo eShop for the brand new Nintendo Switch console on 3rd March 2017. A special limited bundle containing two additional Joy-Con controllers and a download code for the game will also become available at retail from 10th March.

Snipperclips arrives as a launch title for Nintendo Switch, the brand new console by Nintendo that transforms to suit players' situation, allowing them to enjoy their games anytime, anywhere, with anyone.

A breakout hit at Nintendo Switch hands-on events around the world, Snipperclips is a charming puzzle game that encourages players to communicate, cooperate and think creatively in order to overcome the various brain-teasing challenges on offer. When playing together, each player will hold their Joy-Con horizontally and cut each other's paper characters, Snip and Clip, into new shapes to solve all sorts of puzzling situations. Developed by London-based indie developer SFB Games in partnership with Nintendo, it requires up to four players to work together – or compete against each other – across three main game modes: think creatively to puzzle your way through a WORLD of fun (1-2 players, cooperative), invite more players to join and get a PARTY started (2-4 players, cooperative), or go up against each other in a frenetic, fast-paced BLITZ match (2-4 players, competitive).

Those looking to share the joy of puzzle-solving with additional friends or family members can check out the special limited Joy-Con bundle coming to retail on 10th March, which contains a set of two coloured Joy-Con (neon red/neon blue), along with a download code for Snipperclips. Players will surely soon discover that not just two, but three, or even four heads can be better than one!
Additionally, Nintendo Switch owners will be able to try out the game free of charge, as a downloadable demo version will be available on Nintendo eShop from 3rd March.

How will your powers of cooperation and puzzle-solving shape up? Find out on 3rd March, when Snipperclips - Cut it out, together! launches on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch for £17.99 / €19.99. A special limited bundle containing a pair of Joy-Con controllers and a download code for the game will be available from 10th March.

ORIGINAL STORY: Snipperclips will be available for the Nintendo Switch launch in Europe, it has been revealed. It will cost €19.99.

It has also been confirmed that a demo will also be available, and there's going to be a special bundle which includes a download code for the game and a pair of coloured Joy-Cons - that's a pretty sweet deal and a good incentive to buy some more controllers.

The source is a Dutch PR email from Nintendo itself, reported by our friend NintenDaan:

Snipperclips has been confirmed for the EU #NintendoSwitch launch. €19.99. Also a special set with a download code and colored Joy-Con.— Daan Koopman (@NintenDaan) February 24, 2017

It has also been reported that the game has three main modes, "World" (1-2 players, co-op), "Party" (2-4 players, co-op) and "Bonus Game" (2-4 players, competitive).

How do you feel about this news? Let us know by snipping out a comment below.

Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly. Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded.

Great news. I plan on downloading Zelda and I was thinking how annoying it will be having nothing to do on my new console while it downloads. With my internet speed it'll take around 10 hours at least. Snipperclips is only around 1.5gb so I'll download that first to play while I wait on Zelda.

Nintendo really are winging it with the Switch. Snipperclips is a great little gem. But my God, do Nintendo have a clue what they're at? A week before the Switch launches, "Oh, ya, by the way Snipperclips will now be ready for launch and we've also made a Joy-con bundle". The fact the bundle's not ready until a week after launch just cements it.

That's likely to be 30 dollarydoos here. Can't say I'm happy with that price as I'd rather have been given the option to pay say, $50 for a retail version that isn't locked to the console.

Nevertheless, I hope the bundle comes to Australia. If the Joy-Cons are alternate coloured, then I might be tempted to bite. If they're in any of the currently available default colours, then I'll resist.

@Peace-Boy Games are locked to one console at a time. So while games are assigned to your Nintendo account. You can't have two Switch consoles logged into one Nintendo account and download the same game on both consoles.

@BigBadJohn That's how I prefer to look at it.With Snipperclips now added to the Eshop along with FAST RMX and the new Shovel Knight DLC and possibly some more titles that will be revealed in the Nindie Presentation,day one is shaping up quite nicely.

Someone did a mock Switch bundle on Reddit that included Snipperclips coloured joy cons and they were absolutely beautiful. If the special edition bundle is coloured like them then I guess I have an expensive purchase to make at launch.

My guess is that we will get official confirmation in the Feb 28th stream.

It's cool. Especially the demo as it is closest thing to a pack in game. But I don't get the extra bundle ???? Isn't the whole point that the Switch itself comes with everything you need for party play ? And that it makes having to buy extra controllers a thing of the past ? I get there is a 4 player mode but it seems a small part of the experience. Seems it would be a better suit as an 'Arms' bundle as that requires 4 Joycons. With this aren't you going to open that pack download the game and then just put the extra controllers to one side. It's a cool promotion and I'm buying the game but just think it goes a bit against the messaging behind the device

So is Snipperclips included with every set of £80 joy cons? Or is this a new bundle + people who'e pre-ordered the extra joy cons will be annoyed? Could make that £80 easier to swallow, that's for sure.

Demo is a great idea. I'm not yet convinced I need this game, but I've heard many say that once you okay it, you "get" it...

@samuelvictor I think the bundle costs around £5 more than the standard Joy-con set.Not too bad really.I can't see myself ever needing an extra set of Joy-cons.On the rare occasions I do play local multiplayer over here there's usually no more than 3 of us at a time..I'll be getting a Pro-controller for sure so when the occasion arises,at least I'll have 3 controllers.There will be plenty opportunities for larger sessions when I'm back visiting Scotland but I can't justify spending £80 so more of my mates can get a shot.They'll just need to watch us play or bring their own.

This too!? Sigh ... my poor wallet! There I thought I was clever by paying for all the extra stuff like games in advance and now I'm literally flooded with launch titles. Honestly, I have no right to complain. These are tears of joy.

Just seen the box art for the combo pack and it looks like it is been sold as a "get Snipperclips for free" with the 2 joy cons. That is just my assertion anyway. It isn't displayed as this pack comes with 2 controllers and the game. It is just a normal joycon box with a small bit or art at the bottom saying "also includes SnipperClips" gives me the impression it is being sold as joycons with game rather then each of the items being weighted evenly in the set......if that makes sense

@SLIGEACH_EIRE There's not only 1 way to do business really. Criticism is great but their strategy is theirs to make, we as consumers can like it and praise it or dislike it and critisize it, but there's isn't just 1 way to do business. At the end, we are talking about it and discussing it, that's ultimately free publicity for Nintendo.

This leaves me in a quandary. I wasn't going to get an extra set of joycons till Arms came out but if they are chucking snipperclips in for free or maybe a fiver extra then I can certainly see the value but then I want snipperclips for Day One and the bundle doesn't come out till a week later. First world problems!

@OorWullie Thanks for the reply mate. Even with the now updated UK info there is no price set for the bundle... this would imply to me that for a limited time only the game is included for free in the standard price. Of course I may be wrong.

I agree that the price of 2 extra joycons is hard to justify, but for those considering buying this game at £18, it essentially makes them £18 cheaper.

(And to others seeing this, yes I understand that the price of the joycons is cheap compared to buying 2 of other controllers, or when compared to PS Move, or when considering the extra tech in them... but that doesn't stop it "feeling" expensive. Especially to those old enough to remember buying controllers for other systems for £10 or less, back before they started being "improved" with fancy tech!)

On the positive side, glad to see another promising indie title launching in the sub £20 bracket. £17.99 could become a standard price for smaller or simpler games. Just wish certain other games would follow suit - they would sell more than double the amount of copies, I'm certain!

This is great news! Snipperclips looks like an excellent wee game and hopefully shows off the capabilities of the Switch well! Definitely going to hold out for the Joy-Con bundle as it seems like the best deal, kinda reminds me of Wii Play and how that was a good deal for getting an extra Wiimote.

I might get the bundle depending on pricing. The Zelda Switch bundles I've seen have actually been 1 penny more expensive than buying separately. Not much difference, but I don't like to feel duped as a consumer when bundles usually indicate a better deal.

@BigBadJohn they have the same sort of free shipping over certain amount. log in with your regular amazon details. add items to you cart, select address, checkout. all exactly the same but a different stock list.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'll 2nd the "winging it". The fact that this will only become available starting March 10, a week after launch, would imply or suggest they already sent out a weeks worth of Joycon bundles before they decided to put the code in the box. So maybe winging it is too strong, but the facts make me think "last minute decision" anyway.

I do think the BotW expansion pass was winging it. There's a bunch of stuff in there, but it looks more like a compilation of pre-order bonus, updates, and story DLC pack than what most people would consider a season pass. They couldn't even figure out a way to breAK it up into 2 separate DLC packs to justify a bonus. The bonus is a bonus for nothing, it's just part of the pack. Made me realize Nintendo is still fairly new to the DLC world, Splatoon and SMM were all free updates, Pikmin 3, MK8 and SSB were almost all paid. Nintendo has learned how to mix and match quite yet. So not quite knowing what to do they just threw all that stuff together and called it a pass. Announced 2 weeks before launch. For a game due out in 2015. With 5 amiibo we still aren't sure what they do yet. They probably should have unlocked most of what's in the pass. And maybe they were supposed to way back when BotW was a Wii U exclusive, but now they are just winging it.

I got an email from Gamefly this morning, it's a game rental service FYI, promoting all of the Switch games they will be carrying at launch. It's a whole page full of games. When I got down to the bottom I saw Mario Odyssey and knew that wasn't a launch game. So I started looking at the dates underneath each game. Had to go all the way up, only the first 4 are launch games. Four. They delayed the system until March to have 4 games ready? (Note - they don't have Skylanders probably due to the toys so 5.)

I can't recall exactly the Wii U launch but it felt like a lot more games were coming, if not at launch soon thereafter. NSMBU, Batman, Mass Effect, Darksiders 2, CoD, Madden, FIFA, Assassin's Creed 3.

Not sure how accurate this list is, but even half of it would quadruple Switch.

[url=http://www.ign.com/wikis/wii-u/Wii_U_Launch_Games_(US)[/url]

Switch has nothing by comparison, just a Wii U port of Zelda. And FIFA and Skyrim later in the year. It's a really good thing Zelda was ready, b/c that's all Switch has now.

Now I'm not condemning Switch, I'm expecting a great E3 and things to look good this holiday, but Wii U was so much better at launch, and it could play Wii games.

@Bunkerneath correction: with the consoles come left blue and right red. These JoyCons are left red and right blue so you'll have a complete set of red and blue JoyCons. I'm very tempted by this. Love the look of the Switch with two red JCs

@rjejr I don't think they're winging it. More like they've reacted to customer demand/preorders and have created this promo to push more JoyCons. It's a good promo in my opinion and I'll probably jump onboard. Let's not knock it. More promos the better!

Great move to include the download with Joy-Cons, but would be better if it was launch day not a week behind. No word on price for the bundle it seems...hopefully the same price as regular Joy-Cons because they're already damn expensive!

@Peace-Boy except within that context. If they allowed us to log into both Switch consoles with the same log in then we wouldn't have to buy games twice. I didn't buy Smash Bros 3DS or Federation Force because I wasn't willing to buy 2 or 3 copies and I own 3 3DS units. If I could have purchased it once and installed it on all my 3DS units I would have bought both of those games along with TriForce Heroes and Mario Kart 7 and several other games like that tank game that just came out

@Peace-Boy they could have been doing it for all their games for a long time now, but for some reason they never wanted to.That concept almost got me to but Star Rush even though I don't enjoy Mario Party

@beazlen1 Ah makes sense, OK this makes a high probability of me getting this now, double reds or blue is very appealing. But two joy cons cost £ 70, actually don't know if its worth it, will have to see how I go with the demo
